The day we docked at Monte Carlo, the Le Mans race
was just getting under way. It is the world's oldest sports car race and has
been held annually since 1923. It runs a circuit of closed off public
roads (see the left photo) that essentially closed the city to sightseeing the day we were there.
The race was underway.
As such, we visited the city of Nice and its open are market, and the village of
Eze which is built on a mountaintop. Both towns were,
as you can see, very picturesque... and led to a few bad jokes with the punch
line: "Nice and easy...."
